Hello officer,

I have activated my number - [protected] for international roaming on 10 feb, but i m not able to use it, as it's not working at all, no calls can be done from it, the international customer care number is also not working.

I have paid 4000 rs to get it, nd now not able to use it. I was not expecting it from airtel, it has created lot of problem for me.

I have to buy another number here in us, this is really pathetic.

Kindly deactivate the international roaming and refund my money...

    I had raised a request for new connection on 9th february'18 through the customer care and i was informed to receive a call back within 24 hours which i never got until today.
    I have been daily giving a call to the customer care in this regards, but even after multiple escalations, no revert received.
    I am losing all hopes of receiving a new connection of broadband in pune.
    I was keen of having their services as i was using the same connection in bangalore until i recently moved to pune. So, please help!!

    My contact : +91-[protected]

        I faced airtel payment issue today and went to check the same with airtel store. As per the representative all the airtel payment bank account is currently blocked, because of some ongoing legal issue. The same will be activated after 31st march, 2018. You can only channelize airtel money after that. The fraud is there is no notification regarding this issue in website and you can add money without any hassle which in turn is getting blocked.
        I request the concerned authorities to suggest how to utilize the money.

          This happened only after instaling and using airtel money bank drom 3-4 days after.
          I made 2 succesfull transaction from airtel money bank then as i went to pay my electricity bill my transaction failed and my money got deducted through my bank account though it is credited in my wallet so back then my total balance of wallet was rs 1100.09 and still its the same because after that i was unable to make any transaction and they froze my account

          Even after sending them 10_15 mails there response was the same i got the same replies and nothing has been done by them since

          I request you to take my complaint agiants airtel payment bank and i want to go after them legally for making such kinds of frauds.
          I ll hope that my complaint will be consired asap

            I was using a airtel post paid number from long time registered in bangalore. Recently when i visited my native (Assam), my mobile phone was lost and i have asked customer care to block my sim. As i will be staying in native for couple of months on health ground, my sister collected the sim from one of the airtel store in bangalore and in the store they told her like the sim needs to be activated in assam. When i visited an airtel store in assam (North lakhimpur), they told me like they can't activate the sim. Then again my husband visited another airtel store in bangalore and explained the whole scenario to them, they told they also can't activate the sim. And, they asked us to send a mail to customer care. I have sent couple of mails explaining my situation to them but those guys initially told me they will activate. But later replied again saying they can't activate. These guys kept on dragging me from one place to another without any proper solution. They don't understand customer's issue and don't understand that so many customer things are linked to the number

              Sir

              I am yash maheshwari of jaipur. My phone number is [protected] and i have taken the ₹448/- plan on it.
              However sometimes my internet works very slowly or not at all. This leads to a wastage of half the data i pay for. My friends with airtel dont face this problem.
              I have so much trouble that i am considering to port to jio (Which works good here).

              Please sort my issue. Waiting for your reply.

              Yash maheshwari.

                      I had took airtel digital tv connection november 2017. Technician came from airtel and gave the connection to already existing dish which belonged to another customer and left our dish with us. We were not available during installation (My mother was available). Now the other customer had moved out from house. There is no dish for our connection.
                      Tried calling customer care i had raised complaint around mid of jan 2018, until this date there is no resolution given. One of the worst customer care service ever. They even lie saying that we didn’t receive call.

                      Maybe My complaints may have reached a century. I had almost called around 50 to 60 times. The resolution is very simple - send a technician and install the dish. Is there any difficulty it done. I don’t know why is it difficult for Airtel to do.

                          Hello team,

                          I have been using airtel services for more than a decade now and want to continue this relationship

                          However my experience now with dth customer care is forcing me to request for connection surrender, below are my complaint numbers, on 11th i was having trouble in viewing few channels hence i called customer care from my registered mobile number [protected] (Husband name registered ankit saxena)

                          Cs executive did run some backend config post which none of the channel were visible, on my various follow up on many days one engineer came and he was asking me the issue and just told i m unable to find the issue after 2hrs of investigation, and it seems suddenly my connector, cable, setup box, dish everything gone wrong, i wonder how it was working before i called the customer care post thisday i keep calling customer care and only false info is being share which is shameful for a provider like airtel

                          From two days they are giving me fake committment sla and fone number over call with cs which are wrong, you can cross check todays number shared for engineer called prabhu [protected]

                          I am looking your support for strong action against fake information provided and immediate resolution

                          Complaint number 70917226 on 11th[protected]th 70964271

                          If no resolution is provided i would be forced to take this to consumer forum

                            Airtel has the worst network.in my home my phone always shows no service. Most of the time my number is not reachable. I have to use whatsapp calling, its much better than airtel.
                            Now these days while calling my number it most of the time shows user busy even while i m not using my phone. The problem is not only with my number.in my family we have 7airtel connections, all are facing network issues. We have airtel connectios for more than 10years, i think we have to switch to other network. I have complained to customer care many times, but the issue has not been resolved

                              I have ported my 2 numbers to airtel since then i m not getting network coverage in vishrantwadi pune. They have pla to upgrade towers here. I have asked them to send technician on feb 14th so far no action taken from them. I'm unable to use internet as it's not working due to network issue. I agree network issues will be there in few areas but my question is why they are not sending technician to home address for connecting booster or repeater. They are saying we need to use their service atleast for 3 mon. Im ready to use lifelong if there is no network issue. My only expectation from them is to arrange technician to connect booster or repeater

                              Engineer visited on 17th Feb. And updated airtel regarding the network coverage issue. They promised to solve the issue by connecting router, repeater or booster. But no response.we took 499 rs plan and no use of this as we are not getting network coverage and not able to access net and facing issue with calls I think we have to bear this harrasment from airtel for 3 months. The main issue is they are not solving issue and asking us to wait till they upgrade towers here. We are disappointed that we ported our numbers to airtel.

                              The above reply we got when we requested to install booster or repeater. This company will never grow and should learn something from its competitors.

                                We have been using the above mentioned airtel number for more than 15 years and this number is disconnected because of no usage (First time in 15 years).
                                After we come to know about it, we have been in touch with airtel through the email, no action has been taken and no options provided to me to get the number back.
                                I am in a short assignment period working in united states and no provision given to contact airtel except through email and their only response to go and contact airtel store which is not possible for me as i am out of the country now.
                                While this outstanding complaint is on with them, now it looks to be like this number is given to somebody else and all my personal financial transactions are going to that number which provides further issues as all my information is now shared to the third party.
                                Airtel customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                                      Recently also i complained the guy told go for port and we cant do anything that they agreed no network in homes in your area.
                                      As i am using airtel more than 10 years.
                                      Sometimes rudely they speak.
                                      Very bad network airtel now a days they dont even respond

                                        I have received special offer of about 199 and 399 rupees.. I already have 409 rupees as my balance amount in my mobile. But i cant recharge those offer from my main account.. It is fully cheating.. Now a days no one is use their main account balance for voice call, sms, etc. Only use it from special monthly unlimited call sms packs.. So all my 409 rupees will going to useless.. Thats the technique of airtel to cheat their own customer...
